one of the things that stands out about Superior Drummer, or both EZDrummer and SD2.0 are the CYMBALS.. it's too bad you didn't show us that...

This is due to my experience that virtual cymbals - even the with the best sounds and e-cymbals - neither feel right while playing nor sound as authentic as using a hybrid setup like I do. Real cymbals give me too many nuances that are still getting lost using samples. Besides the real miking catches noises of the sticks throbbing on the mesh heads etc. that perfectly accomplish the live acoustic illusion.

Sorry, but your question involves too many unknown factors, you need to ask someone in your area to assist and help you. Good luck!

Hey man great kit!

I have an electronic kit and i replaced my padded snare drum with a real snare drum meshed with a Pintech trigger in it, while i connect it with my Drum vst, like SD 2.0 it sounds very weak and low volume with no punch at all!

How can i make it sound with equal velocity as to my toms, kick and cymbals etc,

note:- toms,kick and cymabals are from the electronic kit only the snare drum is with a real one,meshed and triggered

sorry for my English

thanks!

Yes, the tighter the better, although I found ways to allow a looser head tension e.g. for the stand tom w/o running into multiple triggers. But generally a 12-o'clock-position of the piezo off center works best for me to avoid jumpy dynamics and its much easier to avoid the piezo starts bouncing around itself.
